    ipdb.notes
    The playfield layout is very similar to Gottlieb's 1968 'Royal Guard'. If Macao is the name of a dice game, we cannot find evidence of this from our research. Macao (Macau) was the oldest European colony in China. Gambling was legalized there in 1847, but conservative control did not allow all types of gambling until 1962. Macao has since become known as "The Monte Carlo of the Orient". The 1952 Hollywood movie "Macao" reportedly had its principal stars meeting up over a game of dice, which undoubtedly was a contemporary form of entertainment at this popular tourist destination.
